For all you budding writers out there...
Just something that resonated with me that I found on the interwebz today. Time to give myself a kick up the bum, methinks.
“
If you only write when you’re inspired you may be a fairly decent poet, but you’ll never be a novelist because you’re going to have to make your word count today and those words aren’t going to wait for you whether you’re inspired or not.
You have to write when you’re not inspired. And you have to write the scenes that don’t inspire you. And the weird thing is that six months later, a year later, you’ll look back at them and you can’t remember which scenes you wrote when you were inspired and which scenes you just wrote because they had to be written next.
The process of writing can be magical. Mostly it’s a process of putting one word after another.

There is also too many distractions *cough Internet cough*, so when you are not inspired instead of making yourself keep writing because you don't have a choice. You seek those this distractions, and there it goes away the writing time.
